We all search for that perfect place..

Where we can  be ourselves..

Where we can be free..

We all search for our own utopia..

 

Where we can believe what we want..

Love whom we want..

Believe in whatever god we want..

But we all have our own version of what we seek.

 

We search for that perfect place..

That exists just beyond the reach of our dreams..

On the banks of a perfect shore.. 

Where the rivers flow with crystal clear streams..

 

We search for a place where peace is abundant..

Where love is always true..

Where worries never find us..

Bills are never past due..

 

No disconnects on the fridge..

That has a never ending supply of food..

But if we were to have everything we wanted ..

Would it do us more harm than good?

 

So perhaps..

The search for utopia is something we don't need after all..

Be proud for your struggles make us stronger..

Our troubles make us wiser..

 

And find the inner peace within yourself.. 

For there is a utopia within us all,,

Don't doubt yourself for your weaknesses..

Instead stand strong..

And stand tall..

 

Cause Utopia doesn't exist in a map/

Its something you have to find in yourself..

But you might just be able to read it..

In that book by Sir Thomas Moore ..

Laying there on your shelf..
